Aussies going mod crazy to win GIGABYTE Z97X-SOC Force motherboards

OCAU (Overclockers Australia) forum and GIGABYTE are holding an overclocking contest. The idea is to buy some super low end GPU (Nvidia GT610) and achieve the best results in a number of benchmarks.

Top three prizes are all GIGABYTE Z97X-SOC Force and there’s also a participation prize for a GIGABYTE Z87X-OC so you can understand the level of excitement as well as some serious punishment for those poor little graphics cards. Punishment you say, wait until you see the photos, I mean some SERIOUS punishment, modification, crazy cooling, etc. One contestant strapped 2x $100 power boards on a $50 cards hahahah.
